For a moment, I considered my situation to make sure I was understanding what just happened as well as possible. There was quite a bit of information made known to me in an infinitely small moment.
First, I am now in a completely different universe from where I had been just a moment ago. Second, this universe did not exist until just a moment ago about the same time I entered into it, yet somehow it has a history going back far enough that several galaxies have had time to form, merge with other galaxies, and eventually die as they become blackholes so massive that they destabilize and actually explode in what is known in this universe as a dark pulse. It is by far the most energetic phenomenon that has ever occurred. The last one was 77013 Vitian stellar orbits ago. Vitian happens to be the planet I am on.
I am aware of every thing that happened in two different versions of myself. One version was given the ability of absolute speech. The other was given the ability ob absolute travel, he could go anywhere. That version of myself traveled to a realm of supreme sexual bliss and then traveled to an alternate version of that realm where he was it's absolute ruler and then kept traveling to greater and greater realms of pleasure till he was moving through reality at infinite speed and lost himself in the euphoria of hyperdimensional pleasure. The other version of myself was extremely boring in comparrison but at least retained his sanity. I can also remember both of my past lives before being transported into whatever this is and gaining abilities that no one ought to have.
Everything has reset for me but not exactly. I am not either of my previous versions, but I am definitely closer to the version of myself that gained the absolute speech ability. The planet and universe I am in is also far faaaar closer to the world where that version of me existed and not the infinite abyss of imeasurable pleasure that my other self experienced. It is an indescribable thing to know what infinite pleasure is like and to also feel no particular yearning for it.
It is worth noting what my current abilities are. I have an adjusted derivative of previous abilities.
1) I have remembered the absolute language and once again have basically infinite power to do anything except go back to either of the two versions of my original world. I can't even recreate a copy of earth or anything too close to it. This limit seems very purposeful, and I don't like it. I also still have no ability to gain information on the mastermind behind all of this or affect that entity in any way. I will chose not to dwell on what I can't do anything about.
2) My mind is stable in a way that is really impressive to me. My emotions and sensations might inform my decisions, but they don't control me. I no longer have involuntairy responses to things like fear, anger, pleasure, pain, or sadness. I am free to choose my response to even things like shock and surprise. It's perhaps the thing that is most fascinating to me of all the abilities I have. In a way I never have before, I feel confident and in control of myself.
3) I can still make those wonderful wooonderful leaves, but they are slightly different due to this being a different type of reality, but they are just as good as the revious ones. These leaves are perfectly black and absorb all electromagnetic waves so that they simply look like a hole in reality. The name of the tree they come from is "The First life". It is thought to be the first ever form of life in this particular universe, and all currently existing life forms in some way derive from it. The shape of the "leaf" is probably closest to that of a lilly pad it is a flat circle with a stalk extending from the middle of one side. The "leaves" can apparently be any size from about as big as a small coin to something like eleven kilometers in diameter. The First Life is an organism which is entirely made of this same simple structure. There are no other parts it is just circle and stalk. More stalks can grow from any location on the First Life. This allows for an almost shocking amount of variety in overall shape of First Lives.
The largest known specimen of The First Life ever discovered and thought to be the very first First Life is shaped like a giant chain of stalks and circles. Each stalk grows from the middle of a circle in a straight line. Each circle is about five kilometers in diameter and each stalk about thirty seven meters in diameter and a length of something like four kilometers. This chain extends for about 33.04 million lightyears and is arranged roughly like a coiled spring with a diameter of about 39700 lightyears per loop. To the societies aware of it's existence, it is a sacred thing and highly venerated. There is actually a society of what might be considered "divine" beings who actually live on what has been named "Origin". This is off topic though.
4) My thoughts are obviously being distracted by the abundance of new information I have. And that is my fourth ability. I still have all the memories of both previous lives and both previous lives on Earth, including the massive abount of knowledge I gave myself in one of my previous "versions". In his hybrid version of myself I have information on this universe that is actually somewhat different from the type of information I had of the previous. I know every form of code or language used in this universe. I know of evey species that has ever existed as far as the name in each language to which the species is known and actually has a name, physical appearance, habitat, rough population estimate, and very general details about behavior. This world does have it's own unique forms of technology and what might be considered the equivalent of magic, and I do have a full knowledge of both but only so far as has been discovered and implemented on this planet. It is a lot, but not nearly that of what I was subjected to previously. It is really a shame that pretty much all of what I knew is useless here, but I don't think I care enough at this point to do anything about it. My knowledge of my current planet, Vitian is much more thorough, but not excessively so. I have the entire map of the planet perfectly memorised along with political and ecological information on different areas. In regards to the current city I am in, my knowledge is even more thorough. I know every name, when each structure was built and buy whom, I know detailed information about the economics of the city and the trends of fashion as well as popular rumors and topics of conversation and controversy. It is my first day here, and I have a history.

As far as the inhabitants know, I am a benevolent immortal who has been living here for the past 607 years. I helped turn the small village into the proud city it now is. It is a strange thing having strong opinions on the way people are raising their kids in this city when I know I have not actually met anyone yet.
What is going on, and what am I? Am I even real? That is the real question, and suspiciously my power refuses to give me the answer to those two questions no matter how I word it. I don't want to think about that right now.
5) My species here on Vitian is something called Udue-kikino-eme in the native tongue of the people here in the city of Laragar. There is no direct way to translate the meaning into English, but it can be roughly translated as "One who is so without care that he has forgotten how to die." That is about as close to a translation of the meaning as I can get. My kind has different names in different cultures, but that is irrelevant. One name basically the same as the term in that language used to refer to an elderly person. I find that almost as funny as my favourite, Poopoo-oop. Not only is the name hilarious for a reason that only makes sense to me, but the meaning is basically "fake baby" because our appearance is always youthfull, but we almost never are. Sooo yeah, pretty hilarious. I'm a poopoo-oop. I'm a lyric in a Kanye West song.
So details, I am immortal. I have a body that is perpetually perfect. The amount of effort needed to damage my body in any way is pretty ridiculous. It would take a 20mm armor piercing round just to scratch me. I am durable toward all physical, chemical, "magical", and whatever other types of damage exist. I am not really completely immune to anything, but let it suffice that even if something did hurt me, I could regenerate my entire body from just a hand or a rib bone in less than a minute. I look mostly human except for being 232cm tall and having a body that is unnaturally well proportioned and muscular. My skin looks almost like human skin from a distance, but on close inspection one would see that I my skin is actually perfectly smooth and hairless in a way that does not really make sense to me. Even when I bend my elbow the skin does not wrinkle in the slightest. It has a strange level of elasticity that I don't really know what to compare to. At least I have hair on my head and eyebrows, no facial hair though. I could fix that. . . But I think I prefer a clean shaven look to be honest. I can always add a beard later. As far as anyone knows, no one knows the origin of my species. There are not many, only about 63000, and most live on one of the moons, Itaka. I am the only known Poopoo-oop (gotta love that name) in the entire Tubletenu Empire.
6) That is not all. I am not just an average Poop! And that short-form is not original to me, that is the actual modern convention among the Ibenurti people, a humanoid species that is basically the equivalent of Beast from the X-men series. They are blue-furred humanoids with a mixture of feline and ape features. They are one of the more advanced societies on the planet.
Anyway, I have consumed First Life, not actually, but yet the history is there. I remember it while knowing the event is artificial, but somehow no more artificiL than anything else that seems to be happening. . . Not thinking about it. Not thinking about it.
Most are unnaware, but comming into direct contact with First Life has different effects on different creatures. On my particular species, regular physical contact has no effect, but consuming it causes a transformation of sorts. The first and most obvious is the darkening of my skin compared to other poops. The average poop is a moderate shade of brown. . . Yeah. . . Moving on. I am black, and I don't mean black like a really dark brown. I mean black like charcoal and dirty engine grease. That is only a side effect. The primary effect is that I absorb electromagnetic energy as a natural metabolic function. The second change is that I can absorb mana not just ambiently but directly pulling it from objects or creatures I touch. It is a rather creepy ability. Poop mana manipulation is already pretty great. Mine is better. It also is the new source of my super-vision. It is a similar but slightly diminished version of my previous ability to perfectly see all wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. I have no plans to change that. There really was no benefit to being able to see as well as I could back in the other world. It was cool at first but got old very fast.
Besides my death touch, super-sight, improved mana control, and a basic enhancement all around of abilities that reeeally did not need to be enhanced, the final ability is one that almost does not seem to fit unless the particular biology is understood. I understand it, but It is complex enough I never want the chore of explaining it. I can absorb reality. This is hard to describe. I can absorb objects and even creatures into myself that are a greater mass than I am. I can also dispense what I have absorbed. This is not limited to matter. It applies to everything. I can even absorb and dispense space-time. I won't go into explanation, but I can move faster than anyone ever needs to. I can also absorb a moment and carry it into the future. The science behind it is pretty interesting if one can understand the underlying principles.
That is pretty much it as far as abilities. Different in a lot of ways, but also enough similarities that I can see the logical connections between what was and what is. I decide to do something to make myself at home in this reality.
"On this planet the Ibenurti language is the only spoken language, and always has been. All speaking beings in this planetary system speak it. Written languages remain diverse. My knowledge and memories are adjusted to acomodate this change."
Yup, as my first omnipotent act upon this universe I made poop official, an inside joke just for me.
